Hi, i am sorry for my english if is not good. I want to build my first plugin for Thunderbird and the concept is to can export/import contacts and groups of contacts from the address book. My question is that if thunderbird have other files except *.mab for storing address book and list of contacts. Because the impab.mab i read it and cannot understund the format. Thank's in advance...

The address books are stored as follows:

abook.mab - Personal Address Book history.mab - Collected Addresses abook-#.mab where # is a decimal number - user-defined address books.

I have never found any use for the impab.mab book. I read it is for imported address books, but my imports always make new files, usually with numerals in the name.

There is already a jolly good add-on - MoreFunctionsForAddressBook. What might your add-on do that this doesn't already do? ;-)

https://wiki.mozilla.org/Address_Book - good luck with it!

Thank's for your reply. I allready found the MoreFunctionsForAddressBook. I see that can export list of contacts but i think it can export a single list at once. What if i have 10 or 20 lists. Can i export them all together at once? The other reason is for educational purpose. I want to learn building plugins. I can create webapps using php and javascript and i want to extend my knowledge. Thank's again...

To your original question of trying to comprehend the Mork file format. these links might be handy.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Tech/Mork/What_is_it https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Tech/Mork https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Tech/Mork/Structure

The file format is still in use in the MAB address book files and the MSF database files used to store mail information to populate the user interface.
